History
In 1872, the University of Kolozsvár was founded with the support of Baron Eötvös József, Minister of Religion and Public Education, and from 1881 it bore the name of Franz Joseph I. The neo-Renaissance building of the university complex was designed by Alpár Ignác. The eastern wing was built between 1893-95 and the western wing in 1897. The main connecting building was completed in 1902. It was inaugurated at the same time as the statue of King Matthias of Hungary. During the Romanian invasion of 1919, most of the Hungarian professors were dismissed because they refused to swear loyalty to Romania, and the university was renamed after the Romanian King Ferdinand I. The Hungarian University of Kolozsvár continued teaching in Szeged from 1921. After the town returned to Hungary in 1940, the Hungarian university was re-established in Kolozsvár.
From 1945, it continued teaching under the name of Bolyai University, sharing the building with the Romanian Babes University. In the 1950s, the Romanian chauvinists in communist clothing merged the two universities, and Hungarian education was slowly dismantled. After 1989, some Hungarian faculties were re-established and the university was renamed Babes-Bolyai.
